Pictures of the bike-a-walk-a-thon anyone?

Adalynn getting ready to high-five someone after "she" (read Tanner behind the dunk tank) dunked Jax.  You know I think I have been high fiving wrong all these years, I never lift my leg and really put my all in it.

My camera doesn't do justice to how red faced these three little walkers were.  Adalynn, Trent, and Jaya bestest buddies racking up the miles.

The start line, amazingly only one crash at the start and it only took down one rider, I was fearful of this part but it went smooth.

Wayne Riner and Matt Hadley from Connell.  Two of our six dunk tankee's.  People paid $50.00 bucks to throw the first ball at Wayne (read Kent Andersen).  Uncle Rick paid $50.00 to throw the first ball at Wiley Allred.  And Kelly Albertson paid $20.00 bucks to jump the line, I think because first grade teachers are always saying "don't cut in line" she just needed to cut once!

Shane and Carson taking a break.  Long day for them--at Children's Hospital yesterday for Kyler's appointment, back home to Arlington, then get up today and drive across the mountains to Royal to spend the day with us.

The quilt Polly Carlson helped Mrs. Muellers' Kindergarten class make for Kyler.  Carter's handprint animal is the bear in the top right corner of the quilt.  Don't you think his hand is so smart looking? Ohhh I just noticed behind Courtney is the little mermaid lounge chair all set out---do you see why Uncle Rick picked it now?! 

Brynn and Gabbi showing off their face painted faces.

Not quite as full as a football game against Connell, but people were milling around, they wouldn't hold still for a picture--can you believe it!

                                    People getting their dinner were entertained by the dunk tank.

This made me cry.  Do you think I'm crazy now?  It's because our soon to be neighbors, borrowed this stroller from our now neighbors for the b-a-w-a-t and it's Jackson's 1st stroller!  Chriss threw us a baby shower when Jackson was born and this stroller was the gift from her and Lisa.  His first stroller at a fund raiser for his rare disease, excuse me I have to go cry again--I'll be right back.  I pushed that thing all over Tri-Cities with little baby Jax in there, dreamt about his glorious future.....can't go on.  I loved that it was still rolling in his behalf though!

You probably can't hear Jackson saying "it's cold" , you'll have to trust me on this.

There, now he is sitting more lady like.

Mom was very popular.  I'm sure it was her magnetic personality and not the ice-cold water, cookies and bandaids! 

  Do you see Jens, Emily, Matt, Courtney, Dallas, and Marcie up there tallying away?  NO--again your going to have to trust me.

 

I wanted to take a picture of the line of bikes, but all you can see is that the grass really is greener in Royal City.

Matt Hadley after his dunking--good sport.  Hey how about being a REALLY good sport and letting us take the 1A title this year in Football, it would mean so much for Jackson's recovery, and you've already got BYU paying you to go there....please?

Michael, the incredible shrinking Man, running the dunk tank.

                                            Plinko board NOT run by Drew Carey.

                                           Tanner just after "helping" a patron dunk Jax!

 Zoe was that patron, she was pretty excited.  We could probably make millions if we let little sisters dunk the brothers that torment them all day long!

Sarah napping again!  Baby Carson was a popular boy at our house.  We (o.k. me, Zoe, Sierra, and Sammi) were all vying for his attention.

                       Jackson and Tanner on their "official" duties, just like Royalty in the Rolls Royce.
